AIDS isn’t the only epidemic in America. There’s also stupidity epidemic and the obesity epidemic. Apparently both are spreading and are very serious. In a statistic I just made up 5 of 4 people are stupid as shit… Just kidding, that’s preposterous. When you use the word epidemic it usually means something bad and very sudden. Usually unexplained or by surprise. Stupidity can be tracked back as far as 2009 when Jersey Shore got renewed for a second season, so clearly it doesn’t fit the criteria.

When the world was young food was scarce, there was no McDonald’s. If you wanted to eat you had to kill something. This is when getting pregnant pretty much meant the mother was on her way out, and Cannibalism was takeout. Human Nature is all about convenience, or making things easier. And for every reaction there’s a reaction. The only thing that sells that makes shit harder is exercise focused. Some smart lazy ass guy said “stairs suck what if you could stand still but still move” and the escalator was invented. Then somebody said ” how can i reinvent the stairs but for people who don’t mind a little exercise?” then they invented the step master and the treadmill. Somebody invented the milkshake somebody else made the protein shake. The farther down society’s time line you go the less humans have to work to survive. This is good, the life expectancy has increased 20 years since a hundred years ago. Of course everything has an ebb and flow and eventually the expectancy will drop back down, to 0, but for now shit’s at an all time high. Shit that would normally take all day gets done in an hour. Thank You Technology you make writing this article and getting it out to the public easy as shit, if I had to type it then go to print it out I would just die. There are places in certain countries, that aren’t as fortunate as America, where people can’t gain weight, you can see their rib cage. We’ve all gotten up and changed the station when the infomercial to adopt a kid for 21 cents a year comes up. Back in the day to be fat meant you were you rich. And by back in the day I mean Game of Throne times. The human body stores energy in fat for later use, nobody calls a squirrel fat for hiding nuts in his mouth. Heh. The only people that used to be fat had to be kings or lords. Pheasants and the Unfortunates where sickly and skinny. The homeless guy with the worst living conditions still had a better chance than the lower class a thousand years ago, or even oversees. When the government starts funding gyms and raises taxes on fast food places that’s when i’ll call obesity an epidemic

As the title suggests this is about Weight. Now normally I spend the better part of an article shitting on a group of people, but this is the opposite. Leave fat people along.. If I want to clog up my arteries by eating a triple mcgrease burger with gravy, you sit and eat your Cobb salad with low-fat dressing in silence. At the end of the day what’s the point of working out. It’s not to get skinny it’s to feel good about yourself and be comfortable with your body. If I’m 500 pounds who says i’m overweight? What if last month I was 501 pounds and now i’m splurging, mind your damn business. Just because you can eat a leaf and a drop of water and be good for a week, doesn’t mean I’m fat for wanting to actually taste my food. Here’s where the title really comes into play. It’s all about how you feel about yourself. If I’m a big guy and I eat bad, and i’m okay with that that’s nobodies business but me and my weight scale. If I’m a big guy and I’m always talking about , Man I don’t get any bitches I wish I was skinny, then yeah those people have no self-control and should definitely get off their asses and run a little. Just like how self respect separates a girl who likes to have fun from a ho, it separates the big guys from the fatties. The thing a lot of people don’t consider is that eating healthy cost a lot of money. It does. Ramen Noodles are 25 cents a pack. They have over 40 grams of sodium in them. A salad alone costs 2 and a half dollars a bag. And maybe some people can’t lose weight. They’re are conditions that don’t allow people to drop pounds, think about that next time you can somebody overweight.. dick..

Back in high school there was a lady that ran past my bus stop everyday. She was in her upper forties and was extremely skinny. She didn’t look healthy but yet everyday she would get up and run her ass off, looking like the stick figures on the “Warning pedestrians X-ing” sign. I understand that this is a rarity, but she wraps up how I feel about America. And in a way it’s not even that rare. Plenty of pretty girls, and men, starve themselves to get to a perfect weight that doesn’t exist. Every bodies so self conscience yet judgmental at the same time. Overweight people are always scrutinized. Even from a health perspective, maybe they don’t plan on living as long as you do. Maybe people want to be in control and plan on indulging until they die, that’s between themselves and their doctor. What makes your ideals so much better that they trump somebody else’s? People are so egotistical they feel the need to make everybody in their presence agree with their views. People climb mountains with no rope. That can’t be too beneficial to their health, nobody takes the climbing gear away from those guys. And god knows how bad some of these weight supplements are on the body. At the end of the day everyone has their vices and I’m trying to shake up what we as a society think as normal and ask “Why are things like this and how come they can’t be different”. Take the blue pill and open up your ways of thinking.

Usually I like to stay biased, but this hits close to home for two reasons. The main reason is because I myself was “over weight” as a kid and had to go through much ridicule. I filled out and am now, for the most part, comfortable with my current weight. Comfortable. Part of the reason I was overweight is because I had a condition. I say part because honestly if I really wanted to I could’ve lost the weight. But as a young kid, who can’t play sports, and nothing to eat but Ramen Noodles the pounds didn’t exactly drop off. The other reason is my dad recently passed of high blood pressure. This was a man who worked out tremendously, moved packages all day, and ate much better than the average person. I thought about leaving that part out I’m not fishing for sympathy, but to tie up my entire point is my dad did everything you’re supposed to do to stay healthy and it didn’t work. I’m not discouraging anybody from being fit, but nothing is guaranteed and what’s the point of living if you’re not living how you want and enjoying yourself.
